@MrNegatiive@RetiredTrader_@TripleNetInvest Yes, duh. Do you not understand that mentally ill people can be unpredictable and dangerous? You ALWAYS avoid transes when you can.
@tomek525 We have been wondering if Zelensky has blackmail material on all the world leaders. This response really ups the probability of that. What other way would he have to "respond"?
@barnes_law He's been busy and he probably has his reasons. What we don't appreciate is him talking about stupid Iran ALL THE TIME and not just explaining his reasons.
@ElderOneThe@ZacksJerryRig@elonmusk@C_3C_3 Most people reading both of our replies would guess that you were the one with a problem. One that makes you angry and lash out.
@Daniel379282120@Re11yRe11@EricLDaugh Everyone that disagrees with us is always perpetually angry and rude. Do you take drugs? Is that why you're like this?
@WEschenbach@technopopulist Thank you. This is the kind of math crime we must expose.
We should notice, though, that it shows that the British justice system is not giving blanket immunity to Muslims. At least there's that.
@Re11yRe11@EricLDaugh Then why did they take this unprecedented step?
The only thing to do is see if
(1) there's a strong correlation between stay-open and Lula-favoring districts, and
(2) there was a cluster of machine-closing times, followed by a gulf before the ruling was announced
@jessesingal As a political wonk, it's time you noticed something. GOP politicians are not faithful to the causes they advertise to their voters. With a bare majority, they always find 1-2 dissenters to ensure that Dem agenda wins.
You can find these Rs by looking for the 🇺🇦 in their bios.
For anyone curious about what it actually looked like to kill a generation of functioning cars, here’s an actual video from 2009 and brief explanation:
The dealer first replaces the oil with sodium silicate solution. It’s a clear-ish liquid that crystallizes under extreme heat. As the engine warms up the solution begins to form small abrasive crystals in the oil system that shred the bearing and score the cylinder walls.
Within seconds of starting the car you can see smoke billowing from the exhaust, this is the crystals scratching the cylinder walls and leaving small grooves for oil and solution to leak past into the combustion chamber and ignite/evaporate, producing the white smoke.
Pretty soon the entire crankcase is full of crystals and freshly shredded metal flakes, the engine seizes. It took about 40 seconds in this video. Some engines reportedly lasted up to 7 minutes, but all were destroyed. That strikes me as sort of sad in a way, like watching a great warrior slowly lose a heroic last stand.
Now, this is the part that gets insanely wasteful. These cars were sent to federally approved recycling facilities where they had 180 days to sell the non-engine parts before they were required to prove that they had shred the entire thing into scrap steel.
But, in talking to a guy who ran one such facility at the time, he typically just sent them straight to the crusher. The timeframes allotted weren’t long enough to dismantle all of the cars, and even if you could, the marginal prices of the parts was greatly diminished. You cannot sell 1000 transmissions when only 50 went bad that year, they became worthless.
So just like that, in order to increase prosperity and save the environment, 677,000 entire running cars and trucks were turned directly into rebar worth a few cents per pound.
The entire Obama administration was like a chapter out of atlas shrugged.
@Amos467253@elonmusk@C_3C_3 DOJ how hard can this be? The guy is obviously up to something regarding an un-democratic overthrow of the government. Tap his phones. Eavesdrop on his meetings. Track who he meets with. This is EASY.
